Pistols at Dawn - Hot Pink Halo

*

It's Saturday evening
In early springtime
With our feet on the road and our
Heads in the sky line
We wind through the back lanes in
Our only suits as the
Man up ahead calls out "stop"
And he shoots

And I'm gone with a glance
Thinking of you on my way to
The dance

We whirl round the room
Our heads filled with stars
Keeping the rhythm of
Our beating hearts
I pulled you close to me and we
Held our heads high
Stopped, hesitated then we
Stepped to the line

And I'm gone, took my chance
Thinking of you on my way to
The dance

I looked down the barrel
Under cover of night
My mind's eye stepped backwards
As he lined up the sights
We marched over fields
And into the dawn
We spun soft and light
When the pistols were drawn

And I'm gone, took my chance
Thinking of you on my way to
The dance
And I'm gone, time's askance
Thinking of you on my way to
The dance

And I'm gone
Gone
The moment it shifted while we
Danced to the song
And I'm gone
Gone
We stepped to the side and then
Time moved along
And I'm gone

violins sounding great again and I like the insistent rhythm. Doubled vocal works well to lift the chorus, and there's some nice use of dynamics with the string layers, although the vocal sometimes gets a little buried in the music. It would have been cool to have the guitar drop out at some point for a section with just strings and vocals, maybe! But I enjoyed this, one of your best Nur Ein submissions I think.
